Virginia Western supports its faculty in attending the Virginia Master Teacher Seminar. The seminar is held each summer on the campus of Hampden-Sydney College and is sponsored by Southside Virginia Community College. This year, the Seminar will take place July 6 -10, 2014. For additional information, please visit www.vamasterteacher.com. If you are interested in attending, please make your Dean aware of your interest no later than Monday, March 17, 2014.

Professional development activities include on-campus training, VCCS opportunities for conferences and grants (http://www.vccs.edu/careers/office-of-professional-development/), non-VCCS travel and training, and educational aid for courses offered both on campus and at other institutions.

The Professional Development Committee has worked hard to improve the professional development funding process for 2014-15. Changes to the process include simplification of the application, inclusion of an option for attending more costly national conferences, and an automated submission process. Professional development funding is available to all full-time faculty and staff through this application process.

Recently we have had a surge of attempts to gain access to personal information in various ways. Here are some tips to keep in mind when speaking about sensitive data.

If you do not know the company or person you are speaking with, you should not offer any information.

If you are suspicious of any attempts to gain information, you should state you do not feel comfortable disclosing that information and end the discussion.

If you receive an email that requires you to click a link to enter personal information, you should delete the email.

If you receive a call requesting your voicemail password, you should not give out your information.

As always, if something seems suspicious DON’T do it. Please contact the Help Desk if you believe you have been targeted by one of these attempts and include as much information as possible (caller phone number, name, email details, etc.).
